the forgotten inazuma adeptus

V

xiao

it had been 2 days since y/n left for inazuma inevitably. archons know when i'll see her next. i really wanted to go see her, i really did. i didn't want her to hold a grudge over me. but i always found her annoying when she was with me. and i somehow feel a lot lonely and i get agitated quicker. but i shouldn't be thinking about her right now. since she's gone inevitably i should get over her leaving liyue. like the others did. hopefully i'll get used to it, cause a distraction is the last thing i need.

y/n

the raiden shoguns subjects last day of freedom. but they didn't know. they didn't even know they had another archon, they didn't even know she died. it pained me knowing we couldn't openly mourn her death or else it would make us a target for other nations.

but i had been studying about the inazuman swordsmanship, and i've got to say i've gotten better already. when i take out slimes and hilichurls that aren't corrupted or the weak corrupted, i usually use the inazuman swordsmanship because before the raiden shougun can officially introduce me i must look like i have been here since the start as she said. i use my original swordsmanship for bigger, stronger enemies cause i wouldnt be wanting to get killed. but soon enough i'll get the hang of it.

xiao. i couldn't get over the fact i wasn't able to tell him i was just ignoring you for you to learn your lesson. but if i think about it. out of all the things he had said to me, this had to be the worse. i had been trying my hardest. i was really just trying to become like him. strong, something i wasn't was at that time.  yet he knew that but went ahead and called me useless. but i'm kinda glad he said that. i've become a lot stronger after i've left liyue. but maybe it wasn't because of that. maybe because i had no one here and i had to become stronger for a foreign land.

i shouldn't dwell over my mistake over him but i always find myself pondering how he must of felt or how he's doing or if he's eaten. i always find myself worrying for someone i should hate. i hate him for what he has done. but when you hate someone you don't find yourself day dreaming about how they are doing. and i was doing just that. god that man has such a hold on me and it's quite concerning. i mean hey when he looks like a god can you really blame me? the way his eyes glistens when i bring him almond tofu. wait why am i thinking like that. get a grip y/n.

this guy is going to be the death of me and he doesn't even know it.

i had made my way into the city. well i didn't walk the streets of the city i just wanted to see what was truly happening with the vison hunt decree and all my questions were answered as soon as i stepped foot here.

when i had gotten here first i wanted to see how inazuma was it's truly pretty dare i say prettier than liyue. but before the vision hunt decree there were was a significantly less number of guards and their eyes would glisten but ever since the ei declared the vision hunt they looked more serious their eyes dark their soul looks empty. they remind me of myself. i noticed how much more i have changed. i'm not as happy anymore i feel like xiao like how he was cold and stubborn. great now i act like him and have a marking just like him, what's next my hair goes green. i think to myself.

i didn't want to become this. i wanted to be the adeptus that people love because everyone loves her for being so kind and carefree. that's how it was like in liyue. sometimes i miss liyue but everyone thinks i betrayed my nation.

i guess this was for the best for me and inazuma.

time skip to the end of the war

it was the end of the war. it was finally all over all the blood shed had stopped. well most of it. it seemed normal for the rest of the nations but inazuma was still locked down and the vision hunt decree was still intact. but a lot has changed for me. i was finally introduced to the subjects of ei and she gave a speech of how i have vowed to protect and help the citizens of inazuma and if they were ever in life threatening danger they would just have to call out my name and i would be there. and just as ei wanted i mixed the two cultures of clothing together to create what i am wearing right now. also i have mastered the art of the inazuman way of the blade to make it seem like i was here the whole time but amidst the war i wasn't able to introduce myself.

but my blood shed hasn't stopped. in secret i kill off the traitors of inazuma the ones who oppose the vision hunt decree and wish to escape.

at first i was hesitant of killing them but i realized if i didn't i would be useless just like how he said and i would also betray my nation. but over time i had gotten used to it which i can't differentiate if it's a good or bad thing.

currently the people of inazuma are scared of me not scared more intimidated which it the complete opposite of how i want them to feel towards me but i must honour my contact to the shogun and can't let them find out of how truly things are going.

i haven't talked to anyone in liyue since i've left. and my personality has taken a complete 360. i've accumulated so much karmic debt i've surpassed my old capacity of karmic but because of kirin it is much more. due to that i have to stay away from mortals as much as i can as i can corrupt them. so i put on a cold and emotionless act to ward them away.

it's over after fighting along side rex lapis. the war is over.

ever since y/n left i've been thinking about her every single day.  but i kept that all to my self. but i worry about her, i want to know how she's doing is she taking care of her self or if she ate. but there's no way i can communicate with her. she probably hates me i wonder if i didn't say that would thing turned out differently would she have stayed? would i have told her? but i should know that she is distracting me and it's getting me killed she's distracting me from my duties.

this girl is going to be the death of me and she doesn't even know it.
